Almeno 78 persone sono morte nello schianto di un aereo militare in Marocco: tre sono sopravvissute, ha fatto sapere l’esercito, ma sono gravemente ferite. L’aereo era un C-130 Hercules, un modello molto diffuso prodotto dalla Lockheed e usato prevalentemente per trasportare persone e materiali. L’aereo si è schiantato a Guelmine, nel sud del Paese, a poca distanza dal conteso territorio del Sahara occidentale: a bordo c’erano soldati con le rispettive famiglie. Stando a quanto riporta la BBC, una fonte vicina all’esercito marocchino ha addebitato l’incidente alla nebbia e alle cattive condizioni climatiche.
